Personality tests and behavioral assessments serve different purposes. While personality tests generally explore an individual’s traits, preferences, and tendencies, behavioral assessments, such as The Predictive Index, focus on workplace behaviors. Workplace behaviors are how a person shows up at work – how they’re likely to communicate, how they likely to be communicated with, how they make decisions, navigate change, and interact with others on the job. Organizations often use behavioral assessments to make better hiring decisions, understand job fit, strengthen team dynamics, discover leadership potential, and how best to support their employees’ success.
